FILE UNDER: GEORGIE PORGY, just took the DEFINITIVE .. DIVE.<\/p>\n

so, <\/p>\n

it’s worth repeating.<\/p>\n

from the SUBLIME . . to the downright CRASS !!<\/p>\n

well, that’s how the ART WORLD, REALLY ROCKS !!<\/p>\n

the extremes of the scene are: that amazing.<\/p>\n

the HAVES who ‘think’ they are, are usually outed eventually<\/strong>, as the far . . bigger ‘HAVE-NOTS’.<\/p>\n

esp when it comes to trying to claim a bonafide ‘creativity’ title.<\/p>\n

you know, that three pointed ‘crown’ of which . . BASQUIAT always painted.<\/p>\n

in another huge, myth-busting reality bites<\/strong> !! mis-step, KANYE WEST had GEORGE CONDO custom paint a huge BIRKIN bag for Kim, for Xmas. <\/p>\n

so, yeah . .
\nif you were sitting on the fence regarding GEORGE CONDO, the definitive balancing act \/ has finally dropped to one side, and it’s NOT<\/strong> GOOD.
\nthe other shoe has finally dropped,
\nand surprise, surprise . . NOT.<\/p>\n

GEORGE CONDO is a FAKE<\/em>.<\/p>\n

George Condo . . is SO over now, it isn’t even funny.
\nhe would have done better to paint a random cartoon face . . but ultimately all ‘posers’ reach the end of their rope, when the creative power just doesn’t match . . the hype. <\/p>\n

if you live in NYC, you know only<\/strong> the real-ist losers . . walk around in their ‘selfies’ !!
\ni.e. hand-painted clothes or accessories with their own ‘art’, self-painted on it.
\ndesperate or what. they pop-up at all kinds of openings . . . looking like art-bag ladies.<\/p>\n

but, haha.
\nlikewise, art blogs can also veer from the generous to the mean . . . !!<\/p>\n

looking up GEORGE CONDO, I found a hilarious archival photo by WALTER ROBINSON . . .<\/p>\n

I’m calling it: two fakes in one frame.<\/p>\n

what . . CECILY, done with the transparent blouses ?!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

talk about REVENGE of the NERDS !!
\nwhen I ‘worked’ at artnet, every now and then .. they, meaning WALTER ROBINSON and CHARLIE FINCH . . would throw these intimate little gatherings to ‘celebrate’ Cecily, and her arrival in the Big Apple. <\/p>\n

Cecily, never one to disappoint an art critic . . . always, but ALWAYS !! showed up in 100% sheer transparent blouses with absolutely no<\/strong> undergarments at all.
\nall I can say is, little ‘piggy snout’ nipples, was the definitive after word, and let’s leave it at that. <\/p>\n

all the artnet ‘boys’, oftentimes including a few ‘lucky’ guests, like maybe ANTHONY HADEN-GUEST, would then be herded into a more private room, and I, would be left outside, wandering: wtf !!<\/p>\n

I heard a few times that Anthony Haden-Guest had to be actually restrained by physical force, from ripping the sheer material to shreds. if you know the players at all, you know how right I am.<\/p>\n

in fact, just between the two of us, ANTHONY HADEN-GUEST is a FAKE, too. <\/p>\n

well, like I said.
\nthat’s the art world, for ya.
\ndon’t be having any illusions. rolls from sublime . . to pretty damn ugly, on a dime.<\/p>\n

but, it’s fun to lift the curtains sometimes, if you’ve got the ‘goods’. <\/p>\n

don’t believe me ?<\/p>\n
